Personnel

gollark: This has other implications.
gollark: Interesting fact; seawater contains 3µg/L of uranium. If mages can function as sieves and process large quantities of seawater, [REDACTED].
gollark: Pulling gold from a few km underground is about as energy-intensive as firing bullets or dropping 100kg weights on people's heads from 50m up, which somehow people don't do?
gollark: There isn't just gold *everywhere* underground.
gollark: Was it just a really gold-rich area for some reason?
